Once and for All: Look up verses about Christ’s sacrifice to make us right with God.

Let’s say the SuperTruth together: “We are made right with God through Christ.”

Jesus willingly came from heaven to Earth to live a sinless life and die on the cross for our sins. By this act of love and sacrifice, we are made right with God for now and eternity. In this activity, we will look up verses about Jesus’ amazing sacrifice.

Note that the suggested answers are from the New Living Translation. If children are using different translations, their answers will vary.

Write the scripture references, one at a time, on the board for children to look up and find the answers. As necessary, help children not familiar with the Bible or pair them with a more experienced child. Have children raise their hands to answer.
